Evidence for the existence of HLA A11 subgroups in Hong Kong Chinese
Tissue Antigens
|February 1, 1985
Abstract:
A study of 771 consecutive blood samples from Hong Kong Chinese has shown the existence of two variants of HLA A11 which can be recognized by antisera of Chinese and other origins. The two variants, identified as HLA A11S (for Short) and HLA A11L (for Long) occurred in 6.4% and 45.9%, respectively, of the samples tested, 2.6% of the samples gave reactions consistent with the presence of both variants and in one case this could be verified by a family study. Segregation of the variants was evident in two other families.

Blood Types
Human blood is classified into different types based on the presence of antigens on the red blood cell's surface and antibodies in the plasma. Proper identification of blood type is essential for successful blood transfusion. The International Society of Blood Transfusion has identified 38 human blood types based on the surface antigens on the red blood cells. The most common types are ABO, Rh, and MNS blood types.

Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms-SNPs
A single nucleotide polymorphism or SNP is a single nucleotide variation at a specific genomic position in a large population. It is the most prevalent type of sequence variation found in the human genome. Point mutations that occur in more than 1% of the population qualify as SNPs. These are present once every 1000 nucleotides on an average in the human genome. Replacement of a purine with another purine (A/G) or a pyrimidine with another pyrimidine (C/T) is known as a transition. In contrast,...
